“The Prime Minister promised to buy Canadian steel for big projects. Instead, projects are using steel from other countries like China while Canadian steelworkers lose their jobs. When will the government start buying Canadian?”
“Mr. Speaker, the reannouncement of LNG Canada phase two is old news, but we now know that steel being used for that project is from China. The Prime Minister promised Canadians he would buy Canadian and use Canadian-made steel for major projects. Instead, he is allowing companies to use foreign steel while Canadian steelworkers are facing layoffs. We have seen the government buy American, and now we are seeing it buy Chinese. When is it time to buy Canadian?”
